On the contrary the pedagogical principles of Jan Amos Comenius, few studies have been made about his involvement with the purpose and usefulness of the new science. However, based on the Via Lucis, book that Comenius wrote between 1641 and 1642 when he was in England due to the invitation of Samuel Hartlib and that dedicated to the Royal Society of London in 1668, this study allows to evaluate the interrelation between some Protestant presuppositions and natural philosophy seventeenth century. So, wishing to collaborate with studies in History of Science, this research presents an analysis of the intercourse that pervade: the involvement of Comenius with the seventeenth-century England; the theological premises of the author that legitimizing his support and the Protestant participation in the development of new science; the method to capture, organize and disseminate the universal knowledge from the Comenius Pan-harmony.

Such expectations also seem to reveal that both, Protestantism as the new science, longed for universal knowledge from the Nature investigation, the educational development, the social rigging and advancement of useful science
